Tomorrow's effort should be a report on last Sunday's storm chase by Andrew & me & some more pics of the 14th April chase.

Also on June 10 1993 a severe microburst hit Wonthaggi causing millions of $ damage!almost flattening some structures like a brick wing of the secondary school.I also missed this one and only saw the aftermarth as i lived in Inverloch.i have a copy of a video analysys of this event that i got from the town library,not too bad. Wonthaggi - apparently it is aboriginal for 'wind and rain' here are some photos from the same day that the waterspout made landfall into Wonthaggi.these are taken from near Inverloch(11km down the coast)and are of the cell that I think spawned the spout they are after the cell has passed.due to the topography of the coast i would not have been able to see the spout anyway.

Sun very intense. My screen temp was 9.5 degrees today at 12:50pm. Might see a decent frost tomorrow if the winds lighten. Look's as if that cold moist air just missed us, looking at the Sat pic earlier this morning with that speckled cloud in the Tasman, just east of here.

I have often wondered about Wonthaggi's location in regard to to SW winds. I mean in regard to any cold air systems that build along the Otway coast, but run slightly offshore and parallel to that coast ( IE they head E/NE ). They would ground about Wonthaggi.

I haven't had a good look thru it all yet, but the email to sms message on your mobile might come in handy for chasers wanting radar info etc. Cheaper than a whole phone conversation which can drag on an on. :-) I've had a quick look for other free internet to sms message sites, but the few I found all suck. :-( Cheers, Rosco. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ 010 Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 19:47:01 +1000 From: MSC [cadence at rubix.net.au] X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: Re: aus-wx: GSM Mobiles and SMS text msg's Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com With regards to SMS messages using the internet, I have found it to be dreadfully unreliable - there is not much use to have a service where no messages get through for days and then 7 messages arrive one after the other (especially with no date or time stamping). For a while now Vodaphone, Telstra & Optus have run SMS messaging within their own systems (with date and time stamping) at between 15c & 20c per message of up to 160 characters. Although this service bears a cost to the sender, its benefits are as follows:- it's faster to use & you can do it while driving (even if you shouldn't) the messaging is instant - like seconds!!! you get to type more information you don't have to be in front of a computer I've tested all of the 3 carriers and messages will now go across them from one to another ie: Vodaphone to Optus, Optus to Vodaphone & Optus to Telstra & Telstra to Optus. My recommendation (having used both SMS by computer as mobile phone for more that 6 months as well) - use your mobile phone if you can - at least you know that the message gets through!!!! -------------------------------- Jane ONeill cadence at rubix.net.au Melbourne Storm Chasers http://www.rubix.net.au/~cadence ASWA - Victoria http://www.severeweather.asn.au "..thinking outside the square" -------------------------------- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ 011 X-Sender: astroman at mail.chariot.net.au X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.1 Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 22:46:43 +0930 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: Andrew Wall [astroman at chariot.net.au] Subject: Re: aus-wx: In car video mount Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com I have made my own Video/camera mount for the car today, I will get some pictures and write up how it was constructed soon..

Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 23:47:05 EST Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi every1, Well...goshamighty! We're still debating global warming and "cause and effect"! Far be it for me to say "whither warmth" or "whither cold" but a few "facts" from the last hundred thousand years speak volumes... Millions of years ago (in fact...probably hundreds of thousands of years) it was warm. CO2 levels were higher than now (ice-cores...distribution of plants etc..) Then the Earth entered a number of "ice-ages", due apparently to the vagaries of the Earth's spin/orbit/wobbly bits of planar mathematics. Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman were nearly alone in saying that "because A and B occur together there is no reason to say A causes B! " This is not to say that "global warming etc.." is not occurring...just that on the time-scales that WE look at they are probably quite insignificant in the great scheme of things... Let the debate continue...but let it continue without the more visceral feeling...i.e. something more solid than 200 years out of a really long time... Geez...I'd be more worried about over-fishing or slash-and-burning forests...
